A low budget Primaquatre Lady?
As you may know by now we love to find old photos of cars & ladies. This one is a recent find, a photo postcard as people used to have printed to send to friends and family perhaps. Perhaps to announce an engagement. Our guess is that it was not out of pride of the car a ca. 1930 Renault Primaquatre 'KZ8' Berline (the K8 code is a bit of a guess). The car seems to be well used, nearly scruffy with missing headlight support, bumpers, and hubcaps. Or are we misinformed and did Renault offer a stripped version with small headlights and without the costly chrome items? There is just a thing that we can add to reassure the young lady that her fiance is not completely without budget. Contrary to most period photos with well used cars this one is proudly showing almost new tyres!
Finally for the real car sleuths: 1 Can you tell us more about the registration? 2. What is the brand of tyre? Michelin, Kléber or ?

Someone needs to save the Riley Merlin so it doesn't go to Germany and get wreacked to make an abortion of a special!

I am pretty sure that we could also see a Monaquatre instead of a Primaquatre cause Renault used the same type of carossery for both types from 1931-1932. The missing hubcaps and the bumpers as well as the headlights are due to the world economic crisis and were intentional low budget versions (according to old catalogues I own). You can also see that on the artificial leather seats that were less costly than fabric.

We own the same Primaquatre . It is a 1932 Renault Primaquatre KZ8 L, 10CV. The headlights are the right ones and the support bar goes through the calandre ( radiator shell ).
The engine is a very reliable 4 cilinder type 373 with 2120cc and has 35 HP . Top speed is about 85 km / h.

Don't know about the tyres but the registration XP is Somme and that particular registration sequence was introduced in 1928 continuing until 1950.
